We’re pleased to announce several new features and product improvements to both N-sight and N-central.  This release introduces new automated tagging capabilities, known as Dynamic Tagging, along with secure boot and OS feature release data for assets, and a new Asset Activities Panel that displays recent event codes for at-a-glance info about the device. These updates offer enhanced device management capabilities, greater control, and deeper insights into the environments and assets you manage.  

Dynamic Asset Tagging  

Dynamic Asset Tagging is now Generally Available, significantly enhancing tagging capabilities by enabling the automated addition and removal of tags based on user defined rules. This exciting new capability offers a scalable approach to asset categorisation and grouping. It also creates a foundation for future innovations such as policy deployments based on asset tags. 

Configuring dynamic tag rules is easy and follows already established workflows and patterns from within Assets View, allowing you to filter devices by asset data and automatically apply specific tags to devices that match those rules. 

This functionality is now available to both N-central and N-sight partners – just navigate to the Tag Management section in the left side navigation bar (for N-central partners, it’s available under ‘Configuration’). 

Key Highlights  

• Create, edit and delete dynamic tag filters 

• Automatically apply tags when saving a new tag filter 

• Automatic re-evaluation of tags assigned to an asset when datapoints change 

• Control access through roles and permissions 

• Search and filter assets by assigned tags 

New Asset Data: Secure Boot and Feature Release Info

We’ve added two new columns to the Assets view: Secure Boot and OS Feature Release info. The OS Feature release data means we now offer a full set of OS data, including version, build and install date.

Secure Boot adds to the security related data points to provide technicians actionable insights into a foundational layer of device security – enabling faster response, stronger compliance, and greater visibility into endpoint protection.  

Asset Activities Now Available in the Assets Details View 

We’re excited to introduce a new Activities view in the Assets Details slide-out panel. This feature gives frontline technicians quick visibility into recent events on an endpoint, making it easier to investigate device issues and respond to helpdesk tickets and monitoring alerts.

The Activities View is available to all partners as a preview feature. Initially, it includes user access events and system crash events (such as blue screen errors). Over time, we’ll add more event types based on your feedback, so let us know which events matter most for diagnosing common IT issues. 

How to access Activities: 

1. In the new Assets View, click a device row to bring up the Device Details view. 

2. Click the Activities tab to see recent events from the last 90 days. 

The tables below provide a reference to the event details that are being captured on a 30 minute cycle: 

Event ID	Event name	Logon type requested	Description
4624	Successful logon	2: Interactive  7: Unlock  10: RemoteInteractive  11: CachedInteractive	Occurs when a logon session is created on the destination machine.
4625	Failed logon attempt	Same as above	Occurs when a logon attempt fails on the local machine.
4634	Logoff	2: Interactive  10: RemoteInteractive	Occurs when a logon session ends and no longer exists.
4800	Workstation locked	2: Interactive	Occurs when a local session is locked.
4801	Workstation unlocked	7: Unlock	Occurs when a local session is unlocked.

Event ID	Event name	Description
41	System kernel-general crash	Occurs when the system restarts unexpectedly without cleanly shutting down first.
1001	Application crash	Occurs when Windows Error Reporting has logged an application error or crash.
6008	Unexpected system shutdown	Occurs when the system shuts down unexpectedly.

We very much hope that new Asset Activities view helps to make you more efficient in day-to-day issue diagnosis and resolution, and look forward to enhancing the new view with more activity data based on your feedback – please let us know!
